Australia’s Glenn Maxwell said “we had nothing to lose” after his century helped seal a dramatic ODI series win over world champions England on Wednesday.
Asked what he was feeling as he walked out to bat, Maxwell said: “I was probably feeling we had nothing much to lose. I suppose coming in at 70/5, it is probably hit or bust at that stage.
“If you lose another wicket in the next five or 10 overs it is pretty hard to expect the bowlers to do the job at the back. Having trust in my own technique and in my partner at the other end, myself and Alex have had some good partnerships over the last few of years and I really enjoyed batting with him at the other end.”
